Your Compliance Companion—Turn Your Portfolio into Proof
What It Is
The Portfolio Review Template is a polished, fillable document designed to help you present a clear, concise summary of your homeschool year. It’s the presentation layer—a professional, ready-to-share overview that brings together the records you’ve already compiled using our Homeschool Portfolio Builder and other SchoolhouseTeachers.com tools.
Think of it as the front-end summary to your in-depth documentation.
- Record deeply by building a detailed portfolio using our Portfolio Organizer.
- Report concisely by summarizing your annual records in this Portfolio Review Template.

Why It Matters
Whether you’re in a regulated region, moving to a new school district, preparing for college applications, or simply seeking peace of mind, the Portfolio Review Template offers a seamless way to showcase your homeschooling achievements.
This tool is ideal for:
- Documentation in case of inquiries by regulators
- Umbrella schools or homeschool oversight programs
- College and scholarship applications
- End-of-year evaluations
- Support in case of reviews, transitions, or simply for your own peace of mind
How It Works
The Portfolio Review Template complements the tools you already use on SchoolhouseTeachers.com. It helps you distill key information from your homeschool year, including:
- Letter of Intent and/or Declaration Form (Start here!)
- Education Plan Builder (Your yearly goals and subjects)
- Portfolio Organizer (Daily/weekly records)
- Certificates of Completion (Proof of course completion)
- Applecore Recordkeeping (Grades, attendance, report cards)
You’ll simply open the fillable PDF and enter essential details you’ve gathered in these tools.
- Courses completed
- Days of instruction
- Assessment methods
- Key accomplishments
If needed, you can include supporting materials you’ve already gathered in your Portfolio—such as field trip documentation or selected work samples. Together, these create a professional, presentation-ready summary of your student’s progress.
Not submitting it separately? Simply place the completed Review Template at the front of your annual Portfolio as a quick-reference summary.
What It’s Not
This template does not autofill from your ST tools or store data automatically. It is a manual summary tool, but it simplifies your work by pointing you directly to the materials you’ve already created using the ST resources and planning tools.
Ready When You Need It
The Portfolio Review Template isn’t required—it’s a flexible, professional resource designed to help you stay organized and confident. Whether you’re responding to a formal request or creating a polished snapshot for your own records, this tool helps you turn documentation into proof.
Add it to the front of your Portfolio, keep it on file, or submit it as needed. However you use it, you’ll know you’re prepared.
We recommend saving a fresh copy each year as the capstone to your homeschool records.
